Wakefield Trinity 26 Leeds Rhinos 24: How the players rated ...
Leeds Rhinos were beaten 26-24 by Wakefield Trinity but do the stats match up to the closeness of the end result?
If the ratings awards to the players by The Yorkshire Evening Post’s chief rugby league writer, Peter Smith, are anything to go by, then Wakefield’s overall performance could well have warranted a larger margin of victory from the Easter Monday derby.
